Arthur William Seccull, born King William's Town on September 14, 1868 and died at Johannesburg on July 20, 1945, was a cricketer who played once for South Africa.

An all-rounder, Seccull was a member of the first South African team to tour England in 1894, though no Tests were played. He scored 355 runs with a top score of 63 against Glamorgan, but took only four wickets.

Back in South Africa in 1895-96, he played in the third Test at Cape Town against the England side under Lord Hawke, scoring 6 and 17 not out and taking two wickets for 37 runs.

Seccull's provincial cricket in South Africa was mainly for Transvaal, though he also appeared for Griqualand West, Kimberley and Western Province.
